OK so i love EA Sports,they are brilliant and above the pack in everything other than apparently basketball
However when they buy a company they ruin it
BioWare was ****ing excellent and well ahead of the pack,their games were never a last minute rush fest until EA took over
Dragon age 1 was a modern marvel,a game that really captured the imagination and had its own version of creepyness about it and massive world/storyline
Dragon age 2 while having better fight mechanics than the original was horrendous with the amount of open world adventure,Less kirkwall more free marches please!!! Dont get me wrong i loved the storyline and characters but ffs an RPG with no adventuring,What they do is REUSE maps and say 3 years has passed since youve been here,wtf???
While im at it Westwood studios had a single greatness above all games they made,it was Command and Conquer
The 3rd one had brilliant graphics even by todays standards,the micromanagement was spot on and just what youd expect from a RTS game,then EA buys westwood
We are given Command and Conquer 4....its an abomination,Defense isnt really required as your base moves around the map,stopping only to pump out units,this game is a ****ing 3rd trimester abortion,completely ruining the franchise of C&C,Even the graphics were piss poor,how do you go BACKWARDS?
Then SW:TOR (BioWare) comes out to mixed reviews,while having biowares optional talking (Nice guy,Flirt,Wanker) it is a Theme park MMO which is nothing compared to the sandbox type,not a bad game but we're playing World of Warcraft with (No bull****,the warrior is the WoW Warrior almost to a tea,my keybindings are IDENTICAL!) Dragon age choices/Voice actor for quests with Star Wars models and lightsabers/blasters
Please EA,Do not rush your subsidiaries as they knew what they were doing while you were still only making the worlds best sports games,give them their ****ing space and stick with your sports games,try to get back basketball and let the real game crafters do their ****ing job!!!
